On this not monotonous Mid-Autumn Festival night, I finally got tired after tossing and turning, and I had a dream.
I dreamed of a middle-aged man who looked very unworthy of the imperial court, wearing armor and riding a horse with a whip. He smiled at me, his face was full of wrinkles, "Madam."
While I was shocked, another middle-aged woman who looked very sorry for my neighbors rushed over from the side. She pushed me down and cried and shouted: "You bitch, don't think that just because the emperor has given me a marriage, you can just let me marry you."
The general will make peace with me. If you want to be the mistress of the general's mansion, there is no way! Unless I die!! I die!!!"
In an instant, the so-called general killed her with one sword strike, then stretched out his hand to me and continued to smile: "Madam, get on your horse and let us live a leisurely life as companions in this mortal world."
I opened my eyes suddenly.
Obviously, this is a nightmare.
"Oh, you damn kid! You suddenly opened your eyes to scare your mother to death!" My mother sat beside my bed and kept touching her chest.
My shock did not subside, and I immediately threw myself into her arms and said coquettishly: "Oh, oh, mother, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the emperor gave me a marriage to a general, but his wife never--"
Before I finished acting coquettishly, I already realized something was wrong with my mother. Her expression looked like she had just been struck by lightning.
"Mother." I called her.
"Have you... heard of General Lian who returned from the Northern Expedition?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't really want to know." I said truthfully.
"Well," my mother's expression said somewhere between hypocritical and heart-burning, "at the banquet, he asked the emperor for a marriage."
I didn't want to hear what was said next at all. I felt that I hadn't woken up yet, so I should change my position and go back to sleep.
But my mother pulled me out of bed and said, "Escape is not the way to solve the problem. Please listen to my mother tell you in detail..."
------------------------In the Daqi Kingdom, the most brave and skilled general is none other than Lian Zheng. As his name suggests, he has done
The most promising thing is "continuous campaign".
That year, the enemy invaded and disturbed our country's border. Lian Zheng led hundreds of elite troops to deal with the enemy. Later, they not only defeated the enemy in a row and retreated without stopping, but also fought against the other three troops who were in danger of committing crimes.
The small border country finally returned home with gold, silver, jewelry and letters of surrender.
It took a total of three months before and after this, but it is said that the food and grass they brought with them when they set out was not enough to last for a month.
It's not that my uncle refused to provide food, it was actually because the main purpose of sending Lien Zheng was to scare the other party. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, my uncle's political strategy was still more gentle.
As for this extra harvest, my uncle can't praise it, because Lian Zheng went beyond the military order; it can't be praised, because our country has annexed four countries without any effort.
Later, my uncle asked Lian Zheng in front of all the civil and military officials, "Can you give me a reasonable reason?"
Lian Zheng clasped his fists and said, "To report to your Majesty, I was just careless and failed to stop the horse."
"Very good, the reason is very good. Let's quit the court."
Lian Zheng said that it was because he failed to stop the horse that he ran over him all the way, so he only suffered moral criticism. My uncle calmly acted like a wise man with evil intentions.
After that, Lian Zheng fought abroad all year round. This Mid-Autumn Festival, he returned victoriously.
…
My mother said that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor praised Lian Zheng highly, saying that he was the "first brave man" in Daqi Kingdom, and asked him what reward he wanted, just ask him.
Lian Zheng replied without any thought: "My lord, I don't want any gold, silver, jewelry, farmland, or a house."
The emperor was curious, "Oh? What do you want, my dear?"
"Alone." Lian Zheng knelt down, but raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, "I would like to ask the emperor to grant me a marriage."
The emperor expressed his understanding, "Heroes really can't pass the test of beauty. Tell me, whose girl is she from? Is she at the table today?"
"It's Princess Xiyuan of Heshun Prince's Mansion."
Lian Zheng didn't look around because he didn't recognize me at all. Naturally, he didn't know whether I was present.
The back of the emperor's hand shook, and he spilled the wine. A servant rushed forward to clean it up.
He looked down at Lian Zheng who was kneeling at the foot of the stairs. There were countless meanings in his eyes, but no one else could tell what they meant. After a long while, he said: "Oh? I have never heard that you and Princess Xiyuan
Have you ever met?"
"When I was young, I once had a relationship with Princess Xiyuan. I was away fighting all the time, but I found it hard to forget. I could only draw a portrait and carry it with me at all times." After saying that, Lian Zheng handed over the so-called portrait to her.
The emperor said, "Although I don't know if Princess Xiyuan has changed her appearance now, but she is the sweetheart of my dream. I hope the emperor will make her come true."
Not only did he have stories, but he also had pictures and truth. He was really well prepared.
My mother looked at him with her old eyes trained in oil and decided that Lian Zheng was not a good person.
As a royal relative like me, who has always been gentle and elegant, when I listened to my mother's on-the-spot reconstruction for me, for some reason I felt an urgent desire to "buy a murderer" or "kill people and set fire".
I couldn't control my mouth and directly cursed: "Bah, he farts, only a ghost has a relationship with him. Did he pinch someone on the battlefield and hurt his brain?" I unconsciously killed him in my dream.
His wife's middle-aged man fell into Lian Zheng's trap.
My mother looked at me and said, "Watch your posture, you are the princess."
I think what my mother said is right. I am the princess, how can I be so angry that I lose my mind? "Mother, what did the emperor say?"
If my uncle agrees, then I can discern the meaning of his appearance at the palace last night. Maybe it is because the remaining conscience has a little guilt for me; or maybe it is because he finally used the most effective method to solve me.
Yes, he was very pleased. No wonder he smiled at me. That was what he meant...
"The emperor did not refuse," my mother took a sip of tea, "but he did not issue an order to grant the marriage immediately. He said that Princess Xiyuan has always been the most thoughtful and arrogant, and the sudden grant of marriage would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Let the general come and explore your feelings first. If you nod, the emperor will grant you a marriage."
I think even if I break my neck, I still won’t nod...
"Oh, by the way." My mother took out a painting from her pocket, "The emperor said that this painting is given to you so that you can feel General Lian's intentions. The one painted in it is you~"
I slowly opened the painting, admired it, and then said to my mother: "Isn't it 'There are no women in the military camp, sows compete with Diao Chan'? Of course, I didn't say that I was a pig, but what was clearly painted in this painting was
Widow He from He's Pork Shop at the east end of the street? Mom, go talk to Widow He and ask her to get married."
"you mean?"
"Go and dream of his spring and autumn dreams! Just trying to show your deep affection with a bad painting, I will never do it!"
My uncle is really like a mirror. He neither refused nor agreed, but pushed the problem to me. He knew that I would not agree to Lian Zheng with my temper, so I became a bad guy, but he and Lian Zheng still did not harm the emperor and his subjects.
mutual affection.
Even a woman like my mother, who has no involvement in government affairs, can tell that even if the general's motives are impure and definitely not good, I can naturally guess at least 70% of them.
What he did this time was definitely not for me.
